What is EMI Calculator & Types of Loans?
An EMI Calculator (ईएमआई कैलकुलेटर) computes your Equated Monthly Installments for loans. It assists in organizing budgets for major purchases such as a house, a car, or addressing personal emergencies.
It supports the three primary consumer loan types in India:
- Home Loan: High-value loans spanning 15 to 30 years with relatively lower interest rates (typically 8% - 9.5%).
- Car Loan: Mid-value vehicle financing for 3 to 7 years with interest rates ranging between 9% and 11%.
- Personal Loan: High-interest unsecured loans for short periods (1 to 5 years) with rates from 11% to 20%+.
EMI Calculation Formula
EMI is computed based on the reducing balance method using the formula below:
Where:
P = Principal Loan Amount (ऋण राशि)
r = Monthly Interest Rate (Annual Rate / 12 / 100)
n = Loan Tenure in months (कुल महीने)
